We implement a variety of security measures, including physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards, to maintain the safety of your personal data when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Websites
Our online platform may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
